Random Question: Cash gifts and thank you cards

Thank you for your generous gift maybe?

I always say "thank you for the very generous gift" and I mention what I will use it towards and how I look forward to seeing them soon etc etc

I agree with @melanie. If you would like to, you can also include a note about how you plan to use the money (i.e. if you are going to buy a house or something like that).

"Generous gift" is what is usually recommended. I've seen suggestions to write what you're putting it toward but not sure how I feel about that (especially if it's going toward your honeymoon lol).

IMO, you address them by name in the note, no need to mention dollar amount, and if you like tell them your plan for it.

"Dear Sue -

Thank you so much for your generous monetary gift. It is very much appreciated! (and will be put towards our new couch/appliances/road trip).

Thank you again!

Our love -

Elizabeth and husband"

Yep, you're right. It sure is weird to say that. When someone gives a cash gift, all is needed is to thank them for their gift. Do not specify how much the cash amount was, or indicate how you plan to use the cash, just a "thank you very much for your generous gift" is fine.

I always say thank you for the thoughtful gift and then personalize it in other parts of the thank you. A few of FH's aunts got us a nice gift card so I mentioned we used it to buy a hutch for our china. I would only mention it if it went to a specific purpose though, not like "Thanks for the gift, it's sitting in our savings account for a rainy day"

Generally: "Thank you for your gift, it come on handy with/when we (buy a house/go in our honeymoon)."

I suggest just sticking with the "generous gift." I have also seen some couple's say how it's going to be used (down payment for a house, improvements on a first home, redoing their bathroom, etc.) which I think is nice. However, I cannot say it would feel as nice if I found out that was a lie or if they stated they were using it for drinking money, new wardrobe, etc. I would use your best judgment. You can also include thanking them for dancing the night away with you, witnessing your special day, etc. if you want to make the thank you feel less sparse.

I never put the amount on it. I usually say something like "thank you so much for the gift! I can't wait to go buy x, y, z."

"Thank you for your generous and thoughtful gift. We're buying wine."

I would not put the dollar amount. We always give cash and people always say "Thank you for your generous gift". Sometimes that is followed by what they plan to use the cash for.

People know we're saving for an accessible home, so we wrote 'thank you for your generous gift, which we put into our house fund.' I always like knowing what people spend my gift on

All pp ideas sound great! i would recommend the same ideas.

I have been using "generous gift"

We had just bought a house so I thanked people for their gift that helped turn our house into a home.

"Thank you for your generous gift" plus a little something about how you'll be using it!

What everyone else said... "Thank you for your generous (or very generous) gift! We're so glad we got to share our day with you!"

Thank you for the generous gift to help us start our new life together.

We just said "thank you for the generous gift". I also like @Amanda's suggestion of "thank you for your generosity"
